- Chapter 36. Coprocessor services
- The following APIs provide access via the Hypervisor to hardware assisted data processing functionality.
- These APIs may only be provided by certain platforms, and may not be available to all virtual machines
- even on supported platforms. Restrictions on the use of these APIs may be imposed in order to support
- live-migration and other system management activities.
- 36.1. Data Analytics Accelerator
- The Data Analytics Accelerator (DAX) functionality is a collection of hardware coprocessors that provide
- high speed processoring of database-centric operations. The coprocessors may support one or more of
- the following data query operations: search, extraction, compression, decompression, and translation. The
- functionality offered may vary by virtual machine implementation.
- The DAX is a virtual device to sun4v guests, with supported data operations indicated by the virtual device
- compatibilty property. Functionality is accessed through the submission of Command Control Blocks
- (CCBs) via the ccb_submit API function. The operations are processed asynchronously, with the status
- of the submitted operations reported through a Completion Area linked to each CCB. Each CCB has a
- separate Completion Area and, unless execution order is specifically restricted through the use of serial-
- conditional flags, the execution order of submitted CCBs is arbitrary. Likewise, the time to completion
- for a given CCB is never guaranteed.
- Guest software may implement a software timeout on CCB operations, and if the timeout is exceeded, the
- operation may be cancelled or killed via the ccb_kill API function. It is recommended for guest software
- to implement a software timeout to account for certain RAS errors which may result in lost CCBs. It is
- recommended such implementation use the ccb_info API function to check the status of a CCB prior to
- killing it in order to determine if the CCB is still in queue, or may have been lost due to a RAS error.
- There is no fixed limit on the number of outstanding CCBs guest software may have queued in the virtual
- machine, however, internal resource limitations within the virtual machine can cause CCB submissions
- to be temporarily rejected with EWOULDBLOCK. In such cases, guests should continue to attempt
- submissions until they succeed; waiting for an outstanding CCB to complete is not necessary, and would
- not be a guarantee that a future submission would succeed.
- The availablility of DAX coprocessor command service is indicated by the presence of the DAX virtual
- device node in the guest MD (Section 8.24.17, “Database Analytics Accelerators (DAX) virtual-device
- node”).
- 36.1.1. DAX Compatibility Property
- The query functionality may vary based on the compatibility property of the virtual device:
- 36.1.1.1. "ORCL,sun4v-dax" Device Compatibility
- Available CCB commands:
- • No-op/Sync
- • Extract
- • Scan Value
- • Inverted Scan Value
- • Scan Range
- 509
- Coprocessor services
- • Inverted Scan Range
- • Translate
- • Inverted Translate
- • Select
- See Section 36.2.1, “Query CCB Command Formats” for the corresponding CCB input and output formats.
- Only version 0 CCBs are available.
- 36.1.1.2. "ORCL,sun4v-dax-fc" Device Compatibility
- "ORCL,sun4v-dax-fc" is compatible with the "ORCL,sun4v-dax" interface, and includes additional CCB
- bit fields and controls.
- 36.1.1.3. "ORCL,sun4v-dax2" Device Compatibility
- Available CCB commands:
- • No-op/Sync
- • Extract
- • Scan Value
- • Inverted Scan Value
- • Scan Range
- • Inverted Scan Range
- • Translate
- • Inverted Translate
- • Select
- See Section 36.2.1, “Query CCB Command Formats” for the corresponding CCB input and output formats.
- Version 0 and 1 CCBs are available. Only version 0 CCBs may use Huffman encoded data, whereas only
- version 1 CCBs may use OZIP.
- 36.1.2. DAX Virtual Device Interrupts
- The DAX virtual device has multiple interrupts associated with it which may be used by the guest if
- desired. The number of device interrupts available to the guest is indicated in the virtual device node of the
- guest MD (Section 8.24.17, “Database Analytics Accelerators (DAX) virtual-device node”). If the device
- node indicates N interrupts available, the guest may use any value from 0 to N - 1 (inclusive) in a CCB
- interrupt number field. Using values outside this range will result in the CCB being rejected for an invalid
- field value.
- The interrupts may be bound and managed using the standard sun4v device interrupts API (Chapter 16,
- Device interrupt services). Sysino interrupts are not available for DAX devices.
- 36.2. Coprocessor Control Block (CCB)
- CCBs are either 64 or 128 bytes long, depending on the operation type. The exact contents of the CCB
- are command specific, but all CCBs contain at least one memory buffer address. All memory locations
- 510
- Coprocessor services
- referenced by a CCB must be pinned in memory until the CCB either completes execution or is killed
- via the ccb_kill API call. Changes in virtual address mappings occurring after CCB submission are not
- guaranteed to be visible, and as such all virtual address updates need to be synchronized with CCB
- execution.
- All CCBs begin with a common 32-bit header.

- The Long CCB flag indicates whether the submitted CCB is 64 or 128 bytes long; value is 0 for 64 bytes
- and 1 for 128 bytes.
- The Serial and Conditional flags allow simple relative ordering between CCBs. Any CCB with the Serial
- flag set will execute sequentially relative to any previous CCB that is also marked as Serial in the same
- CCB submission. CCBs without the Serial flag set execute independently, even if they are between CCBs
- with the Serial flag set. CCBs marked solely with the Serial flag will execute upon the completion of the
- previous Serial CCB, regardless of the completion status of that CCB. The Conditional flag allows CCBs
- to conditionally execute based on the successful execution of the closest CCB marked with the Serial flag.
- A CCB may only be conditional on exactly one CCB, however, a CCB may be marked both Conditional
- and Serial to allow execution chaining. The flags do NOT allow fan-out chaining, where multiple CCBs
- execute in parallel based on the completion of another CCB.
- The Pipeline flag is an optimization that directs the output of one CCB (the "source" CCB) directly to
- the input of the next CCB (the "target" CCB). The target CCB thus does not need to read the input from
- memory. The Pipeline flag is advisory and may be dropped.
- Both the Pipeline and Serial bits must be set in the source CCB. The Conditional bit must be set in the
- target CCB. Exactly one CCB must be made conditional on the source CCB; either 0 or 2 target CCBs
- is invalid. However, Pipelines can be extended beyond two CCBs: the sequence would start with a CCB
- with both the Pipeline and Serial bits set, proceed through CCBs with the Pipeline, Serial, and Conditional
- bits set, and terminate at a CCB that has the Conditional bit set, but not the Pipeline bit.
- 512
- Coprocessor services
- The input of the target CCB must start within 64 bytes of the output of the source CCB or the pipeline flag
- will be ignored. All CCBs in a pipeline must be submitted in the same call to ccb_submit.
- The various address type fields indicate how the various address values used in the CCB should be
- interpreted by the virtual machine. Not all of the types specified are used by every CCB format. Types
- which are not applicable to the given CCB command should be indicated as type 0 (No address). Virtual
- addresses used in the CCB must have translation entries present in either the TLB or a configured TSB
- for the submitting virtual processor. Virtual addresses which cannot be translated by the virtual machine
- will result in the CCB submission being rejected, with the causal virtual address indicated. The CCB
- may be resubmitted after inserting the translation, or the address may be translated by guest software and
- resubmitted using the real address translation.
- 36.2.1. Query CCB Command Formats
- 36.2.1.1. Supported Data Formats, Elements Sizes and Offsets
- Data for query commands may be encoded in multiple possible formats. The data query commands use a
- common set of values to indicate the encoding formats of the data being processed. Some encoding formats
- require multiple data streams for processing, requiring the specification of both primary data formats (the
- encoded data) and secondary data streams (meta-data for the encoded data).
- 36.2.1.1.1. Primary Input Format
- The primary input format code is a 4-bit field when it is used. There are 10 primary input formats available.
- The packed formats are not endian neutral. Code values not listed below are reserved.
- Code Format Description
- 0x0 Fixed width byte packed Up to 16 bytes
- 0x1 Fixed width bit packed Up to 15 bits (CCB version 0) or 23 bits (CCB version
- 1); bits are read most significant bit to least significant bit
- within a byte
- 0x2 Variable width byte packed Data stream of lengths must be provided as a secondary
- input
- 0x4 Fixed width byte packed with run Up to 16 bytes; data stream of run lengths must be
- length encoding provided as a secondary input
- 0x5 Fixed width bit packed with run Up to 15 bits (CCB version 0) or 23 bits (CCB version
- length encoding 1); bits are read most significant bit to least significant bit
- within a byte; data stream of run lengths must be provided
- as a secondary input
- 0x8 Fixed width byte packed with Up to 16 bytes before the encoding; compressed stream
- Huffman (CCB version 0) or bits are read most significant bit to least significant bit

- 36.2.1.1.2. Primary Input Element Size
- For primary input data streams with fixed size elements, the element size must be indicated in the CCB
- command. The size is encoded as the number of bits or bytes, minus one. The valid value range for this
- field depends on the input format selected, as listed in the table above.
- 36.2.1.1.3. Secondary Input Format
- For primary input data streams which require a secondary input stream, the secondary input stream is
- always encoded in a fixed width, bit-packed format. The bits are read from most significant bit to least
- significant bit within a byte. There are two encoding options for the secondary input stream data elements,
- depending on whether the value of 0 is needed:
- Secondary Input Description
- Format Code
- 0 Element is stored as value minus 1 (0 evalutes to 1, 1 evalutes
- to 2, etc)
- 1 Element is stored as value
- 36.2.1.1.4. Secondary Input Element Size
- Secondary input element size is encoded as a two bit field:
- Secondary Input Size Description
- Code
- 0x0 1 bit
- 0x1 2 bits
- 0x2 4 bits
- 0x3 8 bits
- 36.2.1.1.5. Input Element Offsets
- Bit-wise input data streams may have any alignment within the base addressed byte. The offset, specified
- from most significant bit to least significant bit, is provided as a fixed 3 bit field for each input type. A
- value of 0 indicates that the first input element begins at the most significant bit in the first byte, and a
- value of 7 indicates it begins with the least significant bit.
- This field should be zero for any byte-wise primary input data streams.
- 514
- Coprocessor services
- 36.2.1.1.6. Output Format
- Query commands support multiple sizes and encodings for output data streams. There are four possible
- output encodings, and up to four supported element sizes per encoding. Not all output encodings are
- supported for every command. The format is indicated by a 4-bit field in the CCB:
- Output Format Code Description
- 0x0 Byte aligned, 1 byte elements
- 0x1 Byte aligned, 2 byte elements
- 0x2 Byte aligned, 4 byte elements
- 0x3 Byte aligned, 8 byte elements
- 0x4 16 byte aligned, 16 byte elements
- 0x5 Reserved
- 0x6 Reserved
- 0x7 Reserved
- 0x8 Packed vector of single bit elements
- 0x9 Reserved
- 0xA Reserved
- 0xB Reserved

- 0xD 2 byte elements where each element is the index value of a bit,
- from an bit vector, which was 1.
- 0xE 4 byte elements where each element is the index value of a bit,
- from an bit vector, which was 1.
- 0xF Reserved
- 36.2.1.1.7. Application Data Integrity (ADI)
- On platforms which support ADI, the ADI version number may be specified for each separate memory
- access type used in the CCB command. ADI checking only occurs when reading data. When writing data,
- the specified ADI version number overwrites any existing ADI value in memory.
- An ADI version value of 0 or 0xF indicates the ADI checking is disabled for that data access, even if it is
- enabled in memory. By setting the appropriate flag in CCB_SUBMIT (Section 36.3.1, “ccb_submit”) it is
- also an option to disable ADI checking for all inputs accessed via virtual address for all CCBs submitted
- during that hypercall invocation.
- The ADI value is only guaranteed to be checked on the first 64 bytes of each data access. Mismatches on
- subsequent data chunks may not be detected, so guest software should be careful to use page size checking
- to protect against buffer overruns.
- 36.2.1.1.8. Page size checking
- All data accesses used in CCB commands must be bounded within a single memory page. When addresses
- are provided using a virtual address, the page size for checking is extracted from the TTE for that virtual
- address. When using real addresses, the guest must supply the page size in the same field as the address
- value. The page size must be one of the sizes supported by the underlying virtual machine. Using a value
- that is not supported may result in the CCB submission being rejected or the generation of a CCB parsing
- error in the completion area.
- 515
- Coprocessor services
- 36.2.1.2. Extract command
- Converts an input vector in one format to an output vector in another format. All input format types are
- supported.
- The only supported output format is a padded, byte-aligned output stream, using output codes 0x0 - 0x4.
- When the specified output element size is larger than the extracted input element size, zeros are padded to
- the extracted input element. First, if the decompressed input size is not a whole number of bytes, 0 bits are
- padded to the most significant bit side till the next byte boundary. Next, if the output element size is larger
- than the byte padded input element, bytes of value 0 are added based on the Padding Direction bit in the
- CCB. If the output element size is smaller than the byte-padded input element size, the input element is
- truncated by dropped from the least significant byte side until the selected output size is reached.
- The return value of the CCB completion area is invalid. The “number of elements processed” field in the
- CCB completion area will be valid.
- The extract CCB is a 64-byte “short format” CCB.
- The extract CCB command format can be specified by the following packed C structure for a big-endian
- machine:
- struct extract_ccb {
- uint32_t header;
- uint32_t control;
- uint64_t completion;
- uint64_t primary_input;

- 36.2.1.3. Scan commands
- The scan commands search a stream of input data elements for values which match the selection criteria.
- All the input format types are supported. There are multiple formats for the scan commands, allowing the
- scan to search for exact matches to one value, exact matches to either of two values, or any value within
- a specified range. The specific type of scan is indicated by the command code in the CCB header. For the
- scan range commands, the boundary conditions can be specified as greater-than-or-equal-to a value, less-
- than-or-equal-to a value, or both by using two boundary values.
- There are two supported formats for the output stream: the bit vector and index array formats (codes 0x8,
- 0xD, and 0xE). For the standard scan command using the bit vector output, for each input element there
- exists one bit in the vector that is set if the input element matched the scan criteria, or clear if not. The
- inverted scan command inverts the polarity of the bits in the output. The most significant bit of the first
- byte of the output stream corresponds to the first element in the input stream. The standard index array
- output format contains one array entry for each input element that matched the scan criteria. Each array
- 519
- Coprocessor services
- entry is the index of an input element that matched the scan criteria. An inverted scan command produces
- a similar array, but of all the input elements which did NOT match the scan criteria.
- The return value of the CCB completion area contains the number of input elements found which match
- the scan criteria (or number that did not match for the inverted scans). The “number of elements processed”
- field in the CCB completion area will be valid, indicating the number of input elements processed.
- These commands are 128-byte “long format” CCBs.
- The scan CCB command format can be specified by the following packed C structure for a big-endian
- machine:

- Coprocessor services
- 36.2.1.4. Translate commands
- The translate commands takes an input array of indicies, and a table of single bit values indexed by those
- indicies, and outputs a bit vector or index array created by reading the tables bit value at each index in
- the input array. The output should therefore contain exactly one bit per index in the input data stream,
- when outputing as a bit vector. When outputing as an index array, the number of elements depends on the
- values read in the bit table, but will always be less than, or equal to, the number of input elements. Only
- a restricted subset of the possible input format types are supported. No variable width or Huffman/OZIP
- encoded input streams are allowed. The primary input data element size must be 3 bytes or less.
- The maximum table index size allowed is 15 bits, however, larger input elements may be used to provide
- additional processing of the output values. If 2 or 3 byte values are used, the least significant 15 bits are
- used as an index into the bit table. The most significant 9 bits (when using 3-byte input elements) or single
- bit (when using 2-byte input elements) are compared against a fixed 9-bit test value provided in the CCB.
- If the values match, the value from the bit table is used as the output element value. If the values do not
- match, the output data element value is forced to 0.
- In the inverted translate operation, the bit value read from bit table is inverted prior to its use. The additional
- additional processing based on any additional non-index bits remains unchanged, and still forces the output
- element value to 0 on a mismatch. The specific type of translate command is indicated by the command
- code in the CCB header.
- There are two supported formats for the output stream: the bit vector and index array formats (codes 0x8,
- 0xD, and 0xE). The index array format is an array of indicies of bits which would have been set if the
- output format was a bit array.
- The return value of the CCB completion area contains the number of bits set in the output bit vector,
- or number of elements in the output index array. The “number of elements processed” field in the CCB
- completion area will be valid, indicating the number of input elements processed.
- These commands are 64-byte “short format” CCBs.
- The translate CCB command format can be specified by the following packed C structure for a big-endian
- machine:
- struct translate_ccb {

- The select command filters the primary input data stream by using a secondary input bit vector to determine
- which input elements to include in the output. For each bit set at a given index N within the bit vector,
- the Nth input element is included in the output. If the bit is not set, the element is not included. Only a
- restricted subset of the possible input format types are supported. No variable width or run length encoded
- input streams are allowed, since the secondary input stream is used for the filtering bit vector.
- The only supported output format is a padded, byte-aligned output stream. The stream follows the same
- rules and restrictions as padded output stream described in Section 36.2.1.2, “Extract command”.
- The return value of the CCB completion area contains the number of bits set in the input bit vector. The

- by the virtual machine, simply updates the completion area with its execution status. The CCB may have
- the serial-conditional flags set in order to restrict when it executes.
- The sync command is a variant of the no-op command which with restricted execution timing. A sync
- command CCB will only execute when all previous commands submitted in the same request have
- completed. This is stronger than the conditional flag sequencing, which is only dependent on a single
- previous serial CCB. While the relative ordering is guaranteed, virtual machine implementations with
- shared hardware resources may cause the sync command to wait for longer than the minimum required
- time.
- The return value of the CCB completion area is invalid for these CCBs. The “number of elements
- processed” field is also invalid for these CCBs.
- These commands are 64-byte “short format” CCBs.
- The no-op CCB command format can be specified by the following packed C structure for a big-endian
- machine:
- struct nop_ccb {
- uint32_t header;
- uint32_t control;
- uint64_t completion;
- uint64_t reserved[6];
- };
- The exact field offsets, sizes, and composition are as follows:
- Offset Size Field Description
- 0 4 CCB header (Table 36.1, “CCB Header Format”)
- 525
- Coprocessor services
- Offset Size Field Description
- 4 4 Command control
- Bits Field Description
- [31] If set, this CCB functions as a Sync command. If clear, this
- CCB functions as a No-op command.
- [30:0] Reserved
- 8 8 Completion (same fields as Section 36.2.1.2, “Extract command”
- 16 46 Reserved
- 36.2.2. CCB Completion Area
- All CCB commands use a common 128-byte Completion Area format, which can be specified by the
- following packed C structure for a big-endian machine:
- struct completion_area {
- uint8_t status_flag;
- uint8_t error_note;
- uint8_t rsvd0[2];
- uint32_t error_values;
- uint32_t output_size;
- uint32_t rsvd1;
- uint64_t run_time;
- uint64_t run_stats;
- uint32_t elements;
- uint8_t rsvd2[20];
- uint64_t return_value;
- uint64_t extra_return_value[8];
- };
- The Completion Area must be a 128-byte aligned memory location. The exact layout can be described
- using byte offsets and sizes relative to the memory base:
- Offset Size Field Description
- 0 1 CCB execution status
- 0x0 Command not yet completed
- 0x1 Command ran and succeeded
- 0x2 Command ran and failed (partial results may be been
- produced)
- 0x3 Command ran and was killed (partial execution may
- have occurred)
- 0x4 Command was not run
- 0x5-0xF Reserved
- 1 1 Error reason code
- 0x0 Reserved
- 0x1 Buffer overflow
- 526
- Coprocessor services
- Offset Size Field Description
- 0x2 CCB decoding error
- 0x3 Page overflow
- 0x4-0x6 Reserved
- 0x7 Command was killed
- 0x8 Command execution timeout
- 0x9 ADI miscompare error
- 0xA Data format error
- 0xB-0xD Reserved
- 0xE Unexpected hardware error (Do not retry)
- 0xF Unexpected hardware error (Retry is ok)
- 0x10-0x7F Reserved
- 0x80 Partial Symbol Warning
- 0x81-0xFF Reserved
- 2 2 Reserved
- 4 4 If a partial symbol warning was generated, this field contains the number
- of remaining bits which were not decoded.
- 8 4 Number of bytes of output produced
- 12 4 Reserved
- 16 8 Runtime of command (unspecified time units)
- 24 8 Reserved
- 32 4 Number of elements processed
- 36 20 Reserved
- 56 8 Return value
- 64 64 Extended return value
- The CCB completion area should be treated as read-only by guest software. The CCB execution status
- byte will be cleared by the Hypervisor to reflect the pending execution status when the CCB is submitted
- successfully. All other fields are considered invalid upon CCB submission until the CCB execution status
- byte becomes non-zero.
- CCBs which complete with status 0x2 or 0x3 may produce partial results and/or side effects due to partial
- execution of the CCB command. Some valid data may be accessible depending on the fault type, however,
- it is recommended that guest software treat the destination buffer as being in an unknown state. If a CCB
- completes with a status byte of 0x2, the error reason code byte can be read to determine what corrective
- action should be taken.
- A buffer overflow indicates that the results of the operation exceeded the size of the output buffer indicated
- in the CCB. The operation can be retried by resubmitting the CCB with a larger output buffer.
- A CCB decoding error indicates that the CCB contained some invalid field values. It may be also be
- triggered if the CCB output is directed at a non-existent secondary input and the pipelining hint is followed.
- A page overflow error indicates that the operation required accessing a memory location beyond the page
- size associated with a given address. No data will have been read or written past the page boundary, but
- partial results may have been written to the destination buffer. The CCB can be resubmitted with a larger
- page size memory allocation to complete the operation.
- 527
- Coprocessor services
- In the case of pipelined CCBs, a page overflow error will be triggered if the output from the pipeline source
- CCB ends before the input of the pipeline target CCB. Page boundaries are ignored when the pipeline
- hint is followed.
- Command kill indicates that the CCB execution was halted or prevented by use of the ccb_kill API call.
- Command timeout indicates that the CCB execution began, but did not complete within a pre-determined
- limit set by the virtual machine. The command may have produced some or no output. The CCB may be
- resubmitted with no alterations.
- ADI miscompare indicates that the memory buffer version specified in the CCB did not match the value
- in memory when accessed by the virtual machine. Guest software should not attempt to resubmit the CCB
- without determining the cause of the version mismatch.
- A data format error indicates that the input data stream did not follow the specified data input formatting
- selected in the CCB.
- Some CCBs which encounter hardware errors may be resubmitted without change. Persistent hardware
- errors may result in multiple failures until RAS software can identify and isolate the faulty component.
- The output size field indicates the number of bytes of valid output in the destination buffer. This field is
- not valid for all possible CCB commands.
- The runtime field indicates the execution time of the CCB command once it leaves the internal virtual
- machine queue. The time units are fixed, but unspecified, allowing only relative timing comparisons
- by guest software. The time units may also vary by hardware platform, and should not be construed to
- represent any absolute time value.
- Some data query commands process data in units of elements. If applicable to the command, the number of
- elements processed is indicated in the listed field. This field is not valid for all possible CCB commands.
- The return value and extended return value fields are output locations for commands which do not use
- a destination output buffer, or have secondary return results. The field is not valid for all possible CCB
- commands.
- 36.3. Hypervisor API Functions
- 36.3.1. ccb_submit
- trap# FAST_TRAP
- function# CCB_SUBMIT
- arg0 address
- arg1 length
- arg2 flags
- arg3 reserved
- ret0 status
- ret1 length
- ret2 status data
- ret3 reserved
- Submit one or more coprocessor control blocks (CCBs) for evaluation and processing by the virtual
- machine. The CCBs are passed in a linear array indicated by address. length indicates the size of
- the array in bytes.
- 528
- Coprocessor services
- The address should be aligned to the size indicated by length, rounded up to the nearest power of
- two. Virtual machines implementations may reject submissions which do not adhere to that alignment.
- length must be a multiple of 64 bytes. If length is zero, the maximum supported array length will be
- returned as length in ret1. In all other cases, the length value in ret1 will reflect the number of bytes
- successfully consumed from the input CCB array.
- Implementation note
- Virtual machines should never reject submissions based on the alignment of address if the
- entire array is contained within a single memory page of the smallest page size supported by the
- virtual machine.
- A guest may choose to submit addresses used in this API function, including the CCB array address,
- as either a real or virtual addresses, with the type of each address indicated in flags. Virtual addresses
- must be present in either the TLB or an active TSB to be processed. The translation context for virtual
- addresses is determined by a combination of CCB contents and the flags argument.
- The flags argument is divided into multiple fields defined as follows:
- Bits Field Description
- [63:16] Reserved
- [15] Disable ADI for VA reads (in API 2.0)
- Reserved (in API 1.0)
- [14] Virtual addresses within CCBs are translated in privileged context
- [13:12] Alternate translation context for virtual addresses within CCBs:
- 0b'00 CCBs requesting alternate context are rejected
- 0b'01 Reserved
- 0b'10 CCBs requesting alternate context use secondary context
- 0b'11 CCBs requesting alternate context use nucleus context
- [11:9] Reserved
- [8] Queue info flag
- [7] All-or-nothing flag
- [6] If address is a virtual address, treat its translation context as privileged
- [5:4] Address type of address:
- 0b'00 Real address
- 0b'01 Virtual address in primary context
- 0b'10 Virtual address in secondary context
- 0b'11 Virtual address in nucleus context
- [3:2] Reserved
- [1:0] CCB command type:
- 0b'00 Reserved
- 0b'01 Reserved
- 0b'10 Query command
- 0b'11 Reserved
- 529
- Coprocessor services
- The CCB submission type and address type for the CCB array must be provided in the flags argument.
- All other fields are optional values which change the default behavior of the CCB processing.
- When set to one, the "Disable ADI for VA reads" bit will turn off ADI checking when using a virtual
- address to load data. ADI checking will still be done when loading real-addressed memory. This bit is only
- available when using major version 2 of the coprocessor API group; at major version 1 it is reserved. For
- more information about using ADI and DAX, see Section 36.2.1.1.7, “Application Data Integrity (ADI)”.
- By default, all virtual addresses are treated as user addresses. If the virtual address translations are
- privileged, they must be marked as such in the appropriate flags field. The virtual addresses used within
- the submitted CCBs must all be translated with the same privilege level.
- By default, all virtual addresses used within the submitted CCBs are translated using the primary context
- active at the time of the submission. The address type field within a CCB allows each address to request
- translation in an alternate address context. The address context used when the alternate address context is
- requested is selected in the flags argument.
- The all-or-nothing flag specifies whether the virtual machine should allow partial submissions of the
- input CCB array. When using CCBs with serial-conditional flags, it is strongly recommended to use
- the all-or-nothing flag to avoid broken conditional chains. Using long CCB chains on a machine under
- high coprocessor load may make this impractical, however, and require submitting without the flag.
- When submitting serial-conditional CCBs without the all-or-nothing flag, guest software must manually
- implement the serial-conditional behavior at any point where the chain was not submitted in a single API
- call, and resubmission of the remaining CCBs should clear any conditional flag that might be set in the
- first remaining CCB. Failure to do so will produce indeterminate CCB execution status and ordering.
- When the all-or-nothing flag is not specified, callers should check the value of length in ret1 to determine
- how many CCBs from the array were successfully submitted. Any remaining CCBs can be resubmitted
- without modifications.
- The value of length in ret1 is also valid when the API call returns an error, and callers should always
- check its value to determine which CCBs in the array were already processed. This will additionally
- identify which CCB encountered the processing error, and was not submitted successfully.
- If the queue info flag is used during submission, and at least one CCB was successfully submitted, the
- length value in ret1 will be a multi-field value defined as follows:
- Bits Field Description
- [63:48] DAX unit instance identifier
- [47:32] DAX queue instance identifier
- [31:16] Reserved
- [15:0] Number of CCB bytes successfully submitted
- The value of status data depends on the status value. See error status code descriptions for details.
- The value is undefined for status values that do not specifically list a value for the status data.
- The API has a reserved input and output register which will be used in subsequent minor versions of this
- API function. Guest software implementations should treat that register as voltile across the function call
- in order to maintain forward compatibility.
- 36.3.1.1. Errors
- EOK One or more CCBs have been accepted and enqueued in the virtual machine
- and no errors were been encountered during submission. Some submitted
- CCBs may not have been enqueued due to internal virtual machine limitations,
- and may be resubmitted without changes.
- 530
- Coprocessor services
- EWOULDBLOCK An internal resource conflict within the virtual machine has prevented it from
- being able to complete the CCB submissions sufficiently quickly, requiring
- it to abandon processing before it was complete. Some CCBs may have been
- successfully enqueued prior to the block, and all remaining CCBs may be
- resubmitted without changes.
- EBADALIGN CCB array is not on a 64-byte boundary, or the array length is not a multiple
- of 64 bytes.
- ENORADDR A real address used either for the CCB array, or within one of the submitted
- CCBs, is not valid for the guest. Some CCBs may have been enqueued prior
- to the error being detected.
- ENOMAP A virtual address used either for the CCB array, or within one of the submitted
- CCBs, could not be translated by the virtual machine using either the TLB
- or TSB contents. The submission may be retried after adding the required
- mapping, or by converting the virtual address into a real address. Due to the
- shared nature of address translation resources, there is no theoretical limit on
- the number of times the translation may fail, and it is recommended all guests
- implement some real address based backup. The virtual address which failed
- translation is returned as status data in ret2. Some CCBs may have been
- enqueued prior to the error being detected.
- EINVAL The virtual machine detected an invalid CCB during submission, or invalid
- input arguments, such as bad flag values. Note that not all invalid CCB values
- will be detected during submission, and some may be reported as errors in the
- completion area instead. Some CCBs may have been enqueued prior to the
- error being detected. This error may be returned if the CCB version is invalid.
- ETOOMANY The request was submitted with the all-or-nothing flag set, and the array size is
- greater than the virtual machine can support in a single request. The maximum
- supported size for the current virtual machine can be queried by submitting a
- request with a zero length array, as described above.
- ENOACCESS The guest does not have permission to submit CCBs, or an address used in a
- CCBs lacks sufficient permissions to perform the required operation (no write
- permission on the destination buffer address, for example). A virtual address
- which fails permission checking is returned as status data in ret2. Some
- CCBs may have been enqueued prior to the error being detected.
- EUNAVAILABLE The requested CCB operation could not be performed at this time. The
- restricted operation availability may apply only to the first unsuccessfully
- submitted CCB, or may apply to a larger scope. The status should not be
- interpreted as permanent, and the guest should attempt to submit CCBs in
- the future which had previously been unable to be performed. The status
- data provides additional information about scope of the retricted availability
- as follows:
- Value Description
- 0 Processing for the exact CCB instance submitted was unavailable,
- and it is recommended the guest emulate the operation. The
- guest should continue to submit all other CCBs, and assume no
- restrictions beyond this exact CCB instance.
- 1 Processing is unavailable for all CCBs using the requested opcode,
- and it is recommended the guest emulate the operation. The
- guest should continue to submit all other CCBs that use different
- opcodes, but can expect continued rejections of CCBs using the
- same opcode in the near future.
- 531
- Coprocessor services
- Value Description
- 2 Processing is unavailable for all CCBs using the requested CCB
- version, and it is recommended the guest emulate the operation.
- The guest should continue to submit all other CCBs that use
- different CCB versions, but can expect continued rejections of
- CCBs using the same CCB version in the near future.
- 3 Processing is unavailable for all CCBs on the submitting vcpu,
- and it is recommended the guest emulate the operation or resubmit
- the CCB on a different vcpu. The guest should continue to submit
- CCBs on all other vcpus but can expect continued rejections of all
- CCBs on this vcpu in the near future.
- 4 Processing is unavailable for all CCBs, and it is recommended
- the guest emulate the operation. The guest should expect all CCB
- submissions to be similarly rejected in the near future.
- 36.3.2. ccb_info
- trap# FAST_TRAP
- function# CCB_INFO
- arg0 address
- ret0 status
- ret1 CCB state
- ret2 position
- ret3 dax
- ret4 queue
- Requests status information on a previously submitted CCB. The previously submitted CCB is identified
- by the 64-byte aligned real address of the CCBs completion area.
- A CCB can be in one of 4 states:
- State Value Description
- COMPLETED 0 The CCB has been fetched and executed, and is no longer active in
- the virtual machine.
- ENQUEUED 1 The requested CCB is current in a queue awaiting execution.
- INPROGRESS 2 The CCB has been fetched and is currently being executed. It may still
- be possible to stop the execution using the ccb_kill hypercall.
- NOTFOUND 3 The CCB could not be located in the virtual machine, and does not
- appear to have been executed. This may occur if the CCB was lost
- due to a hardware error, or the CCB may not have been successfully
- submitted to the virtual machine in the first place.
- Implementation note
- Some platforms may not be able to report CCBs that are currently being processed, and therefore
- guest software should invoke the ccb_kill hypercall prior to assuming the request CCB will never
- be executed because it was in the NOTFOUND state.
- 532
- Coprocessor services
- The position return value is only valid when the state is ENQUEUED. The value returned is the number
- of other CCBs ahead of the requested CCB, to provide a relative estimate of when the CCB may execute.
- The dax return value is only valid when the state is ENQUEUED. The value returned is the DAX unit
- instance indentifier for the DAX unit processing the queue where the requested CCB is located. The value
- matches the value that would have been, or was, returned by ccb_submit using the queue info flag.
- The queue return value is only valid when the state is ENQUEUED. The value returned is the DAX
- queue instance indentifier for the DAX unit processing the queue where the requested CCB is located. The
- value matches the value that would have been, or was, returned by ccb_submit using the queue info flag.
- 36.3.2.1. Errors
- EOK The request was proccessed and the CCB state is valid.
- EBADALIGN address is not on a 64-byte aligned.
- ENORADDR The real address provided for address is not valid.
- EINVAL The CCB completion area contents are not valid.
- EWOULDBLOCK Internal resource contraints prevented the CCB state from being queried at this
- time. The guest should retry the request.
- ENOACCESS The guest does not have permission to access the coprocessor virtual device
- functionality.
- 36.3.3. ccb_kill
- trap# FAST_TRAP
- function# CCB_KILL
- arg0 address
- ret0 status
- ret1 result
- Request to stop execution of a previously submitted CCB. The previously submitted CCB is identified by
- the 64-byte aligned real address of the CCBs completion area.
- The kill attempt can produce one of several values in the result return value, reflecting the CCB state
- and actions taken by the Hypervisor:
- Result Value Description
- COMPLETED 0 The CCB has been fetched and executed, and is no longer active in
- the virtual machine. It could not be killed and no action was taken.
- DEQUEUED 1 The requested CCB was still enqueued when the kill request was
- submitted, and has been removed from the queue. Since the CCB
- never began execution, no memory modifications were produced by
- it, and the completion area will never be updated. The same CCB may
- be submitted again, if desired, with no modifications required.
- KILLED 2 The CCB had been fetched and was being executed when the kill
- request was submitted. The CCB execution was stopped, and the CCB
- is no longer active in the virtual machine. The CCB completion area
- will reflect the killed status, with the subsequent implications that
- partial results may have been produced. Partial results may include full
- 533
- Coprocessor services
- Result Value Description
- command execution if the command was stopped just prior to writing
- to the completion area.
- NOTFOUND 3 The CCB could not be located in the virtual machine, and does not
- appear to have been executed. This may occur if the CCB was lost
- due to a hardware error, or the CCB may not have been successfully
- submitted to the virtual machine in the first place. CCBs in the state
- are guaranteed to never execute in the future unless resubmitted.
- 36.3.3.1. Interactions with Pipelined CCBs
- If the pipeline target CCB is killed but the pipeline source CCB was skipped, the completion area of the
- target CCB may contain status (4,0) "Command was skipped" instead of (3,7) "Command was killed".
- If the pipeline source CCB is killed, the pipeline target CCB's completion status may read (1,0) "Success".
- This does not mean the target CCB was processed; since the source CCB was killed, there was no
- meaningful output on which the target CCB could operate.
- 36.3.3.2. Errors
- EOK The request was proccessed and the result is valid.
- EBADALIGN address is not on a 64-byte aligned.
- ENORADDR The real address provided for address is not valid.
- EINVAL The CCB completion area contents are not valid.
- EWOULDBLOCK Internal resource contraints prevented the CCB from being killed at this time.
- The guest should retry the request.
- ENOACCESS The guest does not have permission to access the coprocessor virtual device
- functionality.
- 36.3.4. dax_info
- trap# FAST_TRAP
- function# DAX_INFO
- ret0 status
- ret1 Number of enabled DAX units
- ret2 Number of disabled DAX units
- Returns the number of DAX units that are enabled for the calling guest to submit CCBs. The number of
- DAX units that are disabled for the calling guest are also returned. A disabled DAX unit would have been
- available for CCB submission to the calling guest had it not been offlined.
- 36.3.4.1. Errors
- EOK The request was proccessed and the number of enabled/disabled DAX units
- are valid.
